How to copy and transfer files on two storage accounts via Microsoft azure storage explorer

To copy and transfer files between two storage accounts using Microsoft Azure Storage Explorer, follow these steps:

1. Install Azure Storage Explorer: If you haven't already, download and install Microsoft Azure Storage Explorer from the official Microsoft website.

2. Sign in to Azure Storage Explorer: Launch Azure Storage Explorer and sign in using your Azure account credentials.

3. Connect to your source storage account: Click on "Add an account" in the left-hand panel and choose "Connect to Azure Storage." Follow the prompts to sign in and connect to your source storage account.

4. Connect to your destination storage account: Repeat step 3 to connect to your destination storage account. Make sure you have the necessary permissions on both storage accounts to read from the source and write to the destination.

5. Navigate to the source container: In the left-hand panel, expand your source storage account and navigate to the container where the files you want to copy are located.

6. Select files to copy: In the container's content view, select the files or folders you wish to transfer to the destination storage account.

7. Copy the selected files: Right-click on the selected files and choose "Copy" from the context menu. Alternatively, you can use the "Copy" button in the toolbar.

8. Navigate to the destination container: In the left-hand panel, switch to your destination storage account and navigate to the container where you want to copy the files.

9. Paste the files: Right-click on the destination container and choose "Paste" from the context menu. This action will initiate the transfer process, and the selected files will be copied from the source to the destination storage account.

10. Monitor the transfer progress: You can monitor the progress of the transfer in the "Transfers" tab at the bottom of the Azure Storage Explorer window. This tab displays the status of ongoing transfers, including the number of files copied and any potential errors.

Please note that large transfers or a large number of files may take some time to complete. Also, keep in mind that Azure Storage Explorer is just one of several ways to copy files between Azure storage accounts. Other options include using AzCopy or Azure Data Factory, depending on your specific requirements and preferences.
